There is a thing called a mechanics lien. Perhaps it applies here.

Depends upon why it was towed. If it was towed as a result of a DUI, or some violation of the law, then the answer is probably "yes". I would need more facts.

Wrong question., was the tow proper or authorized under the law, not whether you thought it so

In Michigan a dealer can hold a car until the bill is paid. Depending on how much is involved, pay it or engage and attorney.
